The Indianapolis Colts’ struggles in Jacksonville have become one of the most surprising and persistent trends in the NFL. Despite years of strong rosters, franchise quarterbacks, and playoff appearances, the Colts simply cannot seem to win on the road against the Jaguars.
So when was the last time it actually happened?
Last Colts Win in Jacksonville: September 21, 2014
The last time the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars in Jacksonville was on September 21, 2014, when the Colts dominated the Jaguars 44–17.
At the time:
- Andrew Luck was the Colts’ quarterback
- The Jaguars were still rebuilding
- The game took place at what is now known as EverBank Stadium
Since that day, the Colts have not won a single road game against Jacksonville, making it one of the longest active venue-specific losing streaks in the NFL.
How Long Is the Colts’ Jacksonville Losing Streak?
Since that 2014 victory:
- The Colts have made multiple trips to Jacksonville
- They have appeared in the playoffs several times
- The Jaguars have gone through multiple head coaches and quarterbacks
Yet the result in Jacksonville has remained the same: Colts losses year after year.
This has turned what should be a routine divisional road game into:
- A mental hurdle
- A betting anomaly
- One of the most talked-about NFL trends among analysts and fans
Why Can’t the Colts Win in Jacksonville?
Several factors contribute to the streak:
1. Divisional Chaos
AFC South games are historically unpredictable. Even when Jacksonville struggles overall, they consistently find ways to beat Indianapolis at home.
2. Quarterback Turnover
Since Andrew Luck’s retirement, the Colts have rotated through multiple starting quarterbacks, disrupting continuity against a division rival that knows their tendencies well.
3. Jacksonville’s Home-Field Edge
Heat, humidity, crowd noise, and travel fatigue consistently play a role in early-season matchups in North Florida.
What This Streak Means for Future Matchups
Until the Colts break this streak, every road game in Jacksonville will carry extra pressure. Broadcasters reference it. Analysts debate it. Bettors factor it into spreads and moneylines.
It’s no longer just another AFC South game — it’s a psychological battle tied to a decade-long drought.
Final Takeaway
- Last Colts win in Jacksonville: September 21, 2014
- Score: Colts 44, Jaguars 17
- Streak: Over 10 years without a road win in Jacksonville
- Status: One of the longest active venue-specific losing streaks in the NFL
Until the drought is broken, every Colts trip to Jacksonville will remain one of the most fascinating — and frustrating — storylines in the league.
